Tarabukin, Nikolai M. The Meaning of Icon Translated from Russian by Vladimir Bulat Confronted with such an (apparently) generic title, the reader is bound to ask: what novelty could bring such a volume against all those broaching this topic, published so far in Romania? From our standpoint, there can be only one answer, despite the countless nuances it might have: an unprecedented perspective on the icon. From the revolutionary considerations on art philosophy, and the astonishing capitalization on modern physics’ discoveries, to the extremely dense and subtle analyses of iconic composition, the entire contents of the present book could hardly be matched in terms of depth and originality, by any of the highly diverse pieces of literature dedicated to this topic. We rest assured that this book will be loved by many; hated, maybe, by some. No one, however, will remain indifferent to it.
